    Nice National park with proper cafe, lunch serve with beef, French fries and quality rice. Horse riding is a must and the guide will hold you tight and riding walking of about 45minutes round the park with good views and you will to a monastery of 108 steps, another awesome scenery from the top.

    The Chinggis Khan Statue Complex is well worth a day trip from Ulaanbaatar. This is the biggest equestrian statue in the world. From a distance it is impressive, I recommend going inside, walk to the top of the statue, and visit the museum. I learned a lot here.

    Kind of off roads trip. It was raining in mid June and the soils were slippery. Main focus is the to see the land of the wild horse. There are two main trails. Shorter trail about 36km. Longer trail 80km long. Animals such as Przewalski’s horse, marmot, deer and Ancient tombs and big rocks stone.

    When we were there, there were lots of young boys who were competing in boxing. There were lots of people in traditionell costumes who were celebrating something. In addition there were some young people playing both volleyball and football. So it is absolutely a very popular meeting place for the locals. I found the square very impressive. I was also positively surprised that there was a public and free restroom in one of the corners of the square.

    Great representation of Mongolia's fascinating history from Prehistory of Mongolia, Mongolian Empire, 17th-early 20th century Mongolia, Socialist Mogolia to Democratic Mongolia. Cost was 20,000 MNT (less than $6), well worth it. Went on a Sunday and it was empty. Conveniently located across the Sükhbaatar Square, the central square in Ulaanbaatar.

    Excellent place to live and raise a family!
    Consider moving here. The sandstorms keep the bandits out and the skeletal remains of camels make for great playhouses for the kids!

    The local population of 3 entire humans is very friendly and very welcoming.

    Plenty to do as well, like sand sledding/skiing and deciding who gets the food and water rations is quite challenging, yet fun to partake in.
    No better place to live, but we don't want EVERYONE to move here. Too many people as it is.

    It is very similar to other monestaries we have visited in other countries, and one has to buy tickets to enter the monestary if you are not a buddhist. The buddha statue is really nice.

    Visiting the Gandantegchinlen Monastery in Ulaanbaatar is a must. For me, it was an easy walk from the main square, about 20-30 minutes. There is an entrance fee to go inside the main hall, but it's worth it. The Migjid Janraisig Sum statue is spectacular. This statue is huge, it reminds me of statues I've seen in Japan. You can walk around the statue. It's really impressive and highly recommended.

    I visited Zaisan Memorial while on a tour. It is further from the city center so a mode of transportation is a must. Once here, you have to walk up many stairs to get to the memorial. It's very soviet but I found it to be interesting because I've never seen anything quite like it. I like to keep an open mind. Outside of the memorial, it's a great place to get views of Ulaanbaatar. Maybe one of the best and most accessible viewing areas. It is an effort to get here but worth it.

    The Erdene Zuu Monastery is a must when visiting Central Mongolia. Most visitors traveling to Kharkhorin come to visit Erdene Zuu Monastery. Although it s nothing what it used to be, it's still a large and beautiful complex. There are a few temples and structures standing, you can even enter in a few of them. Depending on your interests, I'd say a solid 1 - 2 hours is enough time for a visit.
